Don't Relax

I'm having a lesson at Anna's and it's going quite well. Anna's lessons are pretty intense, and once or twice during the lesson Anna likes to give the horse a little break. Time to stretch it's neck, and just relax.

We're trotting, and Anna asks for a small circle. "Then, once she's ready, back to walk", instructs Anna. "And allow her to take a loose rein, and relax". I breathe a sigh of relief, and flop back in my saddle, relaxed, ready for a beer. "Not you!", shrieks Anna. I sit up, jolted. "It's time for the horse to relax. You have to sit up and go with her, otherwise she can't relax!"
